3 out of 5 stars Nice, bit I have an issue   January 17, 2005

I agree with all the positive reviews here, the sounds is nice. I did notive an improvement in the picture with progressive scan with the component cables. I have a JVC 52" rear projection HDTV. However, there is a glitch in the progressive scan, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it seems to glitch/freeze/spaz for a split second. Not sure what is going on, might be the TV, but progressive scan works fine with my Gamecube.

This is a great system for the money. The Good: 5 disc changer, 600 watts of power, and reads all my DVDs (at least in the time I've owned it), and it has a mode called Matrix that can turn even monophone sound into 5.1. The Bad: The equalizer only works in Stereo mode (not even with a CD), the DVD player is rather large, and the sound is not as customizable as I would like. The Ugly: The Remote has something to be desired and takes some time to learn the advanced features. br / br /I give this 4 stars because its a good system for your money. It plays my well-used DVDs (fingerprints and all) without skipping and is the simplest thing in the world to set up (took me an hour from driving home to playing Lord of the Rings). If your obsessed about the perfect sound, I wouldn't suggest buying this, but it gives great sound at an even better price.

I've owned this system for about 4 months. It has its high points -- aesthetic qualities, value, features. But it also has down points. Sometimes it will refuse to play discs until I open and close the tray. Sometimes, I cannot select DTS soundtracks on movies with DTS audio. Then again, sometimes I can. Once in a while, the center speaker quits working but resumes. It's like an unreliable employee. It gets the job done, but on its own sweet time. I'm concerned about longevity of the system. If I were a prospective buyer, I'd probably get one of these but make damn sure I saved all the packaging and receipts (just in case.)

Reviews like those accompanying mine are the reason that I now read online reviews AFTER I have already made my purchase. br /I went shopping for a theater in a box because this item is intended for a NON-AUDIOPHILE, technically UNSAVVY friend of mine with a child. I didn't want to spend more than $250.00 on something that runs the risk of being abused. My friend doesn't care about a progressive scan feature and will never miss it if it isn't activated. She will also likely find the simplicity of the remote (which I do agree, lacks appeal) just that... simple. But a shotty $120.00 KOSS system simply wouldn't do. I mean.. I will have to listen to this thing from time to time, right? So I went to Best Buy, Circuit City and Good Guys and auditioned every single unit under $400.00 with a couple of CDs that I burned myself. br /Bottom line: You will not get better audio quality matched with an on-board DVD player at this price range. Not to mention that, aesthetically, it does well for itself. I have had no problem playing all sorts of DVDs (though I haven't tried any that I burned myself). Of course, I keep my Dvds clean and only try to use region 1. All rentals have played with no problem and older Dvds,even slightly scratched, played without a hitch as well. br / br /Want to distance the speakers a bit further than the supplied cable? Invest in a wire stripper and a $3.00 bag of wire connectors at "The Shack" you'll be fine... really. br / br /enjoy your purchase.. I sure have.
